In addition, the book introduces emerging technologies and applications of sensing for environmental and geo-hazards in subsurface – focusing on sensing platforms that can enable fully distributed global measurements. Finally, users will find a comprehensive exploration of the future of underground sensing that can meet demands for preemptive and sustainable response to underground hazards.
New concepts and paradigms based on passively powered and/or on-demand activated, embeddable sensor platforms are presented to bridge the gap between real-time monitoring and global measurements.
- Presents a one-stop-shop reference for underground sensing and monitoring needs that saves valuable research time
- Provides application cases for all technologies that are covered and described in detail
- Includes full, four color images of equipment and applications
- Designed to cover a wide variety of underground sensors, from agriculture to geohazards
Civil, Environmental and Engineering Geologists, scientists working in the Geohazards, Geotechnical, Oil & Gas and Agriculture industries; graduate-level students in related areas

Sibel Pamukcu
Dr. Pamukcu conducts research on soil and groundwater decontamination using electrochemical technologies, and on application of fiber-optic and wireless sensors for distributed measurements in geo-media and civil infrastructure. An expert on electro-remediation of soils and groundwater for more than a decade, Dr. Pamukcu co-owns patents in US and abroad; and currently focuses on the application of direct current electric field for in-situ destruction of contaminants through enhanced redox in clay-rich soils. Her other major work involves application of distributed fiber-optic and wireless sensor networks for detection of soil water and contaminants, and infrastructure health monitoring in subsurface
